When the deepest scars come from those who claim to love us most...In the lush farmlands of coastal California, a generational saga unfolds when young Meadow is left in the care of her grandparents Pete and Janie. Behind closed doors, her Aunt Betty's "discipline" crosses into abuse that the family refuses to acknowledge-a blind eye turned to cruelty disguised as love.Spanning from the 1920s through decades of American transformation, Blind-Eye Love follows three generations of a Swiss-Italian farming family as they navigate trauma, mental illness, and the devastating consequences of "the end justifies the means" parenting. When Meadow's volatile mother, Virginia, and alcoholic father, George, lose custody of their daughter, Aunt Betty appoints herself the girl's savior and disciplinarian, determined that Meadow won't turn out like her parents. And family, friends, neighbors all turned a blind eye, enamored with Betty's public persona and Elizabeth Taylor looks.As wire hangers become weapons and verbal cruelty routine, only Meadow's resilience and her grandparents' unconditional love provide sanctuary. The novel explores how abuse ripples through generations-from Betty's own hidden childhood trauma to Meadow's struggle to break the cycle as an adult. This unflinching yet ultimately hopeful narrative examines how we survive childhood wounds, the price of forgiveness, and the courage required to end generational patterns of harm. Based on true events, Blind-Eye Love confronts the uncomfortable reality that those entrusted with our care sometimes inflict the deepest wounds, while offering a powerful testament to the human capacity for resilience and healing.
